Posted · Why is the 3 year old Cura version 15.04.06 and the latest one is Cura 5?

I just found a great YT video that shows Cura 15.04.06.

I downloaded it and I simply love it.

It is fast and has "Split object into parts".

 

Both speed and this feature are missing in Cura 5.

 

I wonder what is happening here. Why is the 3 years old version version 15.04.06, and the latest one (I guess it's the current actively maintained version) is only version 5?

 

Thank you!

    Originally the version numbers of Cura were based on the year and month of the release of the version. So version 15.04 was originally released in april of 2015 (quite a bit longer than 3 years ago). When the frontend of Cura was completely rewritten, the version numbering was "reset" to something more "semantic", starting from Cura 2.x.

     

    The "Split object into parts" functionality can be added back into Cura 5.x with the Mesh Tools plugin from the Marketplace. There are other plugins in the Marketplace that you may like too.

     

    Ofcourse if you feel that 15.4 is better, feel free to use that version. It is more than 7 years old though.

Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
